Rush and his comments are a big part of the news cycle this morning on the Sunday shows....one reason to discuss them.
Respectfully disagree. If we don't turn the conversation to substance--even if only among ourselves--then we accept every diversion that the opposition throws at us and may as well forfeit the November election now.
ABC - Iran, tensions rising - administration believes there is still time. Kristian brings up the fact that the ayotollah (sp?) has issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons. (????- I think this was a long time ago.....sounds like grasping at straws to me.)
David Gre-gory brought it up the 1st thing w Newt. Newt threw it right back to him - why are we talking about this when there are other issues to discuss, and it is not a womens’ health issue, it is a religious freedom issue; and, Obama has done more than any president against religious freedom. Brought up the Catholic institutions and also a Protestant one. Apologies, it was about an hour ago here and I’ve been reading different things and doing some stuff at home - should have taken notes or posted sooner. When pressed by David, Newt said it was right for Rush to apologize. I think Newt did a good job on Meet the Depressed; but, perhaps I’m partial (I was only 1 of 2 at our table that caucused for Newt yesterday).
